Opinion
No. 88-2990.
January 10, 1990.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Lawrence L. Korda, Judge.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Jeffrey L. Anderson, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Celia A. Terenzio, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed in all respects. However, in imposing an upward departure sentence, the court failed to state the grounds for departure in writing. Accordingly, the sentence is reversed and the cause is remanded for resentencing, stating written grounds if the sentence constitutes a departure from the sentencing guidelines. Stewart v. State, 549 So.2d 171 (Fla. 1989).
DOWNEY and WALDEN, JJ., and McNULTY, JOSEPH P., Associate Judge, concur.
